[lbo-talk] Moore on Mumia

[Joseph Wanzala]

I am probably exceeding my quota for the day here, but I hope I shall be 
allowed this excess: If you look at my original post, I was cross posting 
someone else's post which was making what I thought was an important point 
about Michael Moore, the Amy Goodman comment was in the last line of an 
e-mail and was obviously unecessary and inaccurate. I just did not feel that 
I should have edited it out, especially as I assumed I was dealing with 
people who can read things with sublety and know the difference between the 
main thrust of an argument and a minor, if silly rhetorical flourish. I 
don't know what you mean by being a 'true devotee of (my) own marginality' I 
assume you said that because you assumed I was the author of the piece - I 
don't know what other evidence you have of my marginality since I don't you 
nor you me.
